L'oreal True Match N8 is almost identical to MAC Studio Fix Fluid NC50 in color.
My Thoughts:
I read a few reviews that compared this foundation to Chanel's Vitalumiere foundation so I had to try this out. I am surprised to say that for the most part I find this foundation to be an alternative to Chanel's Vitalumiere foundation. This foundation is a lot like Chanel's Vitalumiere but this foundation matches better for me.
This is a lightweight foundation that I find perfect for summer; it provides light to medium coverage. I especially like the finish of this foundation. It has a slight sheen to it but nothing that is overpowering. I also read reviews stating that this product gets oily after a few hours, but that was not the case for me. I have extremely oily skin and this product did not look oily at all. I use Milk of Magnesia to control my oily skin, so oil breakthrough was not a problem. When using Milk of Magnesia I usually see oil break through with foundations at around 6-8 hours. The oil break through with this foundation was around 6-8 hours after applying it.
Conclusion:
I love this product and would repurchase it. This product is my number #1 drug store foundation.
